3rd Annual Love a Chimpanzee Day

Love a Chimpanzee Day is a much-beloved CSNW holiday invented by longtime supporter Monica Best. Monica sponsors April 23rd each year in memory of her cat Ozzie and in celebration of these chimpanzees and all chimpanzees. This year, she also wants the holiday to honor Emma, Karen and Don Young’s dog who recently passed away. (April 23rd also happens to be Monica’s birthday – happy birthday, Monica!)  We had our official celebration a few days early this year (check out the photos here), but we’re still going to be sure to love the chimps just a little extra today.  We may be biased, but we can’t think of a more worthy holiday.
